Hydrafacial Treatment at Dr. Tanreet's Clinic in Amritsar
The Hydrafacial is the most advanced medifacial performed with a medical-grade hydradermabrasion device that executes a patented three-part regimen: cleansing, exfoliating, and infusing the skin with targeted serums. This transformative 40- to 60-minute treatment addresses various skin issues, from dehydration to discoloration, aging to acne, and uneven skin texture. Often referred to as “hydradermabrasion,” it combines microdermabrasion-like exfoliation with the hydrating effects of water and various antioxidant and hydrating serums.
How It Works
Hydrafacial is a three-step process designed to deep-clean, exfoliate, and hydrate your skin. This professional procedure can help treat a variety of skin conditions, including acne, dull skin, blackheads, excessive oiliness, dryness, and fine lines. Unlike a regular facial, which you might get at a spa, the Hydrafacial uses a mechanized handpiece to deeply clean and exfoliate while delivering customized serums tailored to your skin type.
Benefits of Hydrafacial
- Improves overall skin tone
- Enhances skin texture and appearance
- Removes dirt, debris, and bacteria
- Reduces blackheads and prevents acne
- Deeply cleanses and hydrates the skin
- Provides an instant glow and radiance
- Improves fine lines and wrinkles with regular treatments
Side Effects and Precautions
There are no significant side effects or complications associated with the Hydrafacial procedure. It can be performed during office hours with no major precautions or post-care instructions, aside from observing standard sun protection, which is recommended for all cosmetic procedures. During the treatment, you might feel a slight sandpaper sensation or light pressure from the wand, but the Hydrafacial is generally painless and doesn’t cause redness.
The Procedure
A Hydrafacial is performed by a licensed aesthetician or dermatologist in three parts:
- Cleansing and Exfoliation: Your provider uses a vortex-like handpiece to clear away dirt and oil from deep within your pores. A peeling agent, such as glycolic acid, salicylic acid, or hyaluronic acid diluted in water, is used to exfoliate and resurface your skin.
- Extraction: A vacuum-like attachment on the wand extracts debris from your pores.
- Infusion: A pen-like attachment is used to apply moisturizing serums, such as a vitamin C serum, along with other antioxidant or hydrating serums based on hyaluronic acid and peptides, depending on your skin’s needs.
Immediately after a Hydrafacial, your skin will feel much smoother and appear more radiant, with a more even skin tone. The results are noticeable immediately, without any visible signs of irritation.
Aftercare
Each Hydrafacial session takes less than an hour, and no downtime is required. Unlike harsher procedures like chemical peels, you can resume your normal activities right away. Although you shouldn’t experience any redness or peeling after your session, it’s best to avoid exfoliating treatments for the first couple of days.
The frequency of Hydrafacial sessions depends on your skin type and your doctor’s analysis. It is commonly recommended to have a session every 4 weeks or as a pre-event procedure to achieve immediate radiance and clearer skin.
